Patsy Palmer has broken her silence on her headline-hitting Good Morning Britain interview to hit out at being made to "feel worthless" after her abrupt exit from the show.
Patsy, 48, famous to millions of EastEnders fans for playing famous Albert Square resident Bianca, appeared on the daytime programme on Wednesday to speak to hosts Ben Shephard and Susanna Reid from her home in Malibu, where she's been living for a number of years.
Things got off to a rather awkward start when, questioning her on her move over the Atlantic, Ben asked the ex EastEnders actress: "Did you move to get away from people shouting 'Ricky' at you in the street?"
And, aside from a comment from Susanna Reid about Harry and Meghan, that's as far as things went as, noticing the caption about her read 'addict to wellness guru', Patsy fumed: "You know what, I don't even want to do this interview, because I don't even want to look what it says at the bottom of that screen.
"So I am just going to switch off, do a real Piers Morgan, and say it's not okay to have 'addict to wellness guru' on the bottom of the screen."
She added: "My issues that I had years ago, that were talked about many years ago, and it's over, so I am not going to talk to you, don't worry about it but I don't want to talk to you," and stormed off the call.
Both Ben and Susanna offered their apologies, with Ben claiming that 'addict to wellness guru' was something Patsy wrote in her own book, but they were too late as Patsy was gone.
She took to Instagram a few hours later to put her side of things across. In a post shared to her story, she wrote: "I haven't written a book in 20 years so don't believe that!
"Guess what people! People change and grow and live happy healthy lives, so stop trying to make people feel small and worthless.
"Finish it now""
She went on: "Thank you for all of your kind words. Hopefully you will all start living your best lives from now on., not from then now.
"Move on...we are supposed to change! It's a human condition. Can't you see how controlled we are!"
Susanna aimed a dig at Patsy in the minutes that followed her abrupt exit.
Addressing guest Phil Tufnell. she sarcastically asked him: "Any areas you don't want to cover this morning that we should be warned about before we launch into this now?"
Referring to the Patsy drama, he replied: "I don't quite know what happened there! No you're good, I'm here for a few minutes.""
